I'm 23 and I feel that I should be married because both my parents were married at that age. My dad was 24.

I don't think it's necessarily immature, but to pick an age simply because your parents did it, is not smart. You have to make sure you AND the guy you want to marry is really ready for it. Marriage isn't "what it used to be" anymore. People get married to soon, or bail out too soon. People should take more time getting to know what THEY want, before they get into what someone else wants, then WHEN they're ready, both people need to be on the same page on EVERYTHING. Don't worry about the age so much, as if you're emotionally and mentally ready, and if your partner is also.

I'm 35yo & I've never been married. Nothing wrong with it. In fact, I came to the realization a long time ago that there is no "law" that says I have to ever get married or have kids or any of that. I am happily single (but in a relationship) and I'm childless by choice.
Not to say that you won't get married, but I think that you're still quite young. Go out. Enjoy your single life. Don't rush into marriage & being an adult.

Yes it is immature. The fact that your parents married early doesn't mean it's a good idea or they did the right thing. You have way to much of the world to see and things to experience before getting locked down in a marriage. Go and have fun before your life force is sucked from your body.

You should think on marriage when your feelings for the other person are big enought to build a life together.
For people that sees an example as good as I assume you see in your parents, its understable to want to get married and have the same luck. But marriage is as individual as the two persons involved on it. Talk with your parents and see why they got married (maybe they were emotionally much older than you are now)
There's no rush in life!! There's happiness waiting for you no matter how old you are.

No it's not immature to think like that. They are a good role model,but I wouldn't beat myself over the fact that i'm not married so early. Plus people get married at an older age than before.

Yes it is very immature way of thinking. Your parents were living in a different time then. I'm sure your parents have other moral values that you could look upon & put them in practice, but certainly not the age they got married.

I wouldn't say that your statement or your way of thinking is immature. I will however inform you that because your parents were married at that age, doesn't mean that you have to be married at that age. You live your life and don't worry about what they did in the past...

you know what...I understand u completely. have you got a boyfriend?? If not don;t worry u will find some one don;t rush tho. If u have then make sure he is the right guy and make sure he wants to get married as well, once again don't rush. And then again marriage is like a BIG step in life so give it time and don;t get upset because of the fact your dad and mum got marriage at ur age. If you need to talk more add me coyote.ugly13@hotmail.co.uk

do you think that your ready for marriage and not just getting married b/c of the choices you parent made or find a mate that thinks it is alright to get married at 23 . but from my opinion i don't mind getting married in my early 20's

it may not be imature but its unrealistic to but yourself in a position just because your parents did something. you cant follow totally in their footsteps and why would you want to? you have your own life to live in your own time and your own way!why would you married for that reason anyway? you want to be in love ,happy to be with that other person looking forward to the future. you have some ideas that dont make sence in this everyday world,thats the part about you that is imature. get rid of those ideas and wait till the right thing comes a long. you have your whold life a head of you dont waste it trying to live up to something someone else did.23 yrs old seems a bit to young to be married anyway. maybe in their time that was the normal thing to do, but today you want to take your time enjoy life till you find thats someone special!
